Variable Label Responses Unique values (range)a Plotb
a Number of distinct response options and the range of responses in parantheses. For numeric variables coding the length of textual answers to the open-ended survey questions (the variables with names ending with the '_txt_nwords' suffix) it shows the wordcount. For categorical variables, it lists the first and last response option in the questionnaire order.
b The plots show the distribution of the variables as box plots for categorical and numerical variables. For variables with a single unique value, it plots the number of 'yes'/'true' values out of the total as a horizontal stacked bar plot, which essentially visualises the response proportion shown in the 'Responses' column. For variables with more that five response categories the plot includes a vertical red line representing the median response.
